Uninstalled AOL - How Do I UNBLOCK Port 25

Had AOL Dial-Up for about a week. I dragged the application and the prefrences folder to the trash but PORT 25 is still being blocked cause I can't send mail.
How do I unblock it?

Hi Nick!
If you are absolutely sure there is nothing of AOL you want to keep, such as "Favorites". "Address Book", or any saved Emails in your "Filing Cabinet", to purge your system of AOL, do the following:
Quit all applications. Trash the files & folders I have listed. Empty Trash. "Repair Permissions". At this point, it wouldn't hurt to restart, and "Repair Permissions" again. Then reset any necessary System Preferences.
The paths are in all capitals, and the files/folders are under the path, marked like this:
<AOL> (Application). See the first entry, as an example.
Path: HD > APPLICATIONS >
File or Folder: <AOL> (Application)
HD > APPLICATIONS > INSTALLERS >
<INSTALL AOL FOR MAC OS X>
HD > USERS > SHARED >
<America Online>
HD > USERS > HOME > DOCUMENTS >
<America Online> (Folder) If Present
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > COOKIES >
<Cookies.plist> (File)
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > LOGS > CRASH REPORTER >
<AOL.crash.log>
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES >
<America Online> (Folder)
<com.aol.aol.plist> (File)
<AOL for OS X Backup Installer> (Application)
Although you may have to reset some of your connection preferences, for other browsers, to ensure there are no AOL prefs lurking about, trash these files, if present:
HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES >
<com.apple.internetconfig.plist> (File)
<com.apple.internetconnect.plist> (File)
<com.apple.internetpref.plist> (File)
SYSTEM PREFERENCE SETTINGS:
System Preferences > Print & Fax > Faxing
If you have AOL mail set in the Email feature of Apple Fax, don't forget to change it to
your present mail program.
System Preferences > Network
Make sure AOL is not selected in: "Location".
iPhoto Preferences:
Mail: Check that you do not have AOL selected.
That should do it!
Good Luck!

  • How do I unblock Ports? (WRT54GS)

    There is no application on my computer associated with the Router, if someone could help me it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    The application that allows a user to configure the router is your web browser, either Internet Explorer (in Windows), Mozilla Firefox or Safari on a Mac. Typically, the router is at IP address 192.168.1.1.
    To unblock the ports requires access to the router. However, the only time ports have to be unblocked is when you are serving the application to the internet and internet users need to connect to it. For example, if you were running a web page server on one PC, internet users outside of your local network couldn't reach the web pages on your server unless you configure your router to open port 80 on the router and direct requests for port 80 to the correct machine.
    Is that what you are trying to do?

  • Unblock ports

    I'm having difficulty with my email account since installing my new Airport Extream. Talk to my local Internet/email provider and they are saying the the AE is blocking the required port (25) that allow me to send out email. How do I unblock a port that will aloow me to send emails.

    I have never heard of the AE or any modem or router blocking outgoing.. yes, they can block incoming but never ever outgoing. it simply doesn't work that way. It is more like you have double NAT issues.
    Or you have set the mail SMTP to the wrong server if you changed ISP. Most ISP will not allow mail relay.
    Is this pop mail or web mail account?
    Make sure you do not have two routers.. if the main modem is a router bridge the AE.

  • How do I use Port Mapping?

    b How do I use Port Mapping?
    (This document will assume that you are using and ABS/AEBS/AX as an internet router and have DHCP & NAT turned on.)
    Sometime you may want to offer access to a computer on your AirPort network to users on the internet, whether it be a web site, or for file sharing, or just remote access for yourself when traveling. If any of these sound like something you want to do, then you need to understand how Port Mapping works.
    b AirPort as Firewall
    Most of the time your AirPort base station will not let any traffic into your network which did not originate from your network. It will let everything out and replies to your traffic back in, but it will not let sessions initiated on the internet side of the base station in to your network. This is what is referred to as the "NAT firewall" capability of the base station and it provides effective protection for your network from the internet. What Port Mapping does is poke a hole in this wall to allow certain type(s) of traffic into the network and direct this traffic to a specific computer on the network. In the firewall world this is commonly referred to as an "inbound proxy" or "inbound translation" rule or "PAT" (Port Address Translation) in the router world.
    b The Need for Manual Addressing
    Since a Port Mapping entry in the base station configuration requires an inside private IP address to be specified, the computer to which to mapping entry applies should always have the IP address specified in the mapping entry. Thus, DHCP should not be used for a computer offering services on the internet as the Port Mapping entry will no longer work if the target computer's IP address changes. In general, an Apple base station's DHCP server will try to assign IP addresses in the 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200 range. IP addresses above 10.0.1.200 can be Manually assigned to computers and other devices on the network up to 10.0.1.254. 10.0.1.255 is reserved (it is the broadcast address for the 10.0.1 subnet). To Manually set up the TCP/IP information for a Macintosh running Mac OS X, go to System Preferences -> Network and "Show" the appropriate interface (Ethernet or AirPort) and click on the TCP/IP tab. Select "Configure Manually" and enter the following information:
    IP address : 10.0.1.201 (or whatever address you decide to use)
    Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
    Router IP : 10.0.1.1 (the AirPort base station LAN IP)
    DNS server : 10.0.1.1, or whatever DNS server IP your ISP uses
    After making these changes verify that your computer can still access the internet and local resources on the LAN before continuing.
    b Port Mapping a service
    In our example we will be hosting a web site on a computer which we have given an IP address of 10.0.1.201. Basic web sites are accessed using the HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) and this protocol typically uses port 80 to communicate. In order for others to see the web site, we must configure a Port Mapping entry in the base station configuration to not only allow the web browsers in, but to tell the base station what IP address the web server is using. The Port Mapping entry has three parts: Public Port, Private IP, and Private Port. In this case you would use the following values:
    Public Port : 80
    Private IP : 10.0.1.201 (this is the computer hosting the web site)
    Private Port : 80
    In order to access the web site from the internet, users must reference the base station's WAN port public IP (determined by looking at the base station configuration summary page in the AirPort Admin Utility). Since this address may change over time, you might want to use a Dynamic DNS service to simplify connecting for your users.
    Sometimes the port you wish to use may be blocked by the ISP. In this case, use a different non-standard Public Port number for the service, but keep the Private Port standard. In the above example, if the ISP was blocking port 80, you could potentially use 8080 instead, so:
    Public Port :

    Public Port : 8080
    Private IP : 10.0.1.201
    Private Port : 80
    Your users would then have to enter "http://<publicIP>:8080/" (where <publicIP> is the public IP address of the AirPort base station) to access the web site.
    b Internal Access
    It should be noted that when accessing these services from within the network you cannot reference the Public IP/Public Port, but rather you must use the Private IP/Private Port. Thus, "http://10.0.1.201:80/" in the above example.
    b Limits and Options
    There is a maximum of 20 Port Mapping entries that can be made in an Apple base station configuration. If you use an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station there is an option which can be helpful in the case where you need many ports opened to a single computer. This is the "Default Host" option. When using this it is not necessary to use Port Mapping at all as all ports will be opened to the specified "Default Host". This is found in "Base Station Options". The default IP address for the "Default Host" is 10.0.1.253. You may change this IP address. The target computer must be Manually configured as specified above with the same IP address. Since all ports are now open to this computer, you should enable and configure the Mac OS X firewall on the default host computer to protect it from intruders.

  • How to set up port forwarding on extreme with NAS

    I've purchased a NAS (Synology DS211j with 2 caviar HD) over a month ago. Setting up the NAS for wireless connection locally was easy. I've been trying for 3 weeks on how to set-up port forwarding on my airport extreme base. I''ve researched and read countless threads on port forwarding and still cannot grasp the concept and the step by step provided.  I need somebody that's patient enough to hand hold and guide me through this frustrating problem.
    Equipment:
    Comcast cable modem connected into Airport Extreme Base
    Synology DS211j connected to Airport Extreme Base
    Problem:
    Cannot connect to my DiskStation via internet from wherever
    confused whether to use FTP or Personal file sharing or whatever is the most suitable for my needs
    Just need to access files on my DiskStation view/upload/download from wherever I'm at, whether on PC or Macbook Pro
    Thanks in advance!
    Marcus

    Here are the basic steps to configure your NAS for port mapping:
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
    On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    Click Continue.
    MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
    Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
    Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
    Click "Continue"

  • How can I open ports on my AirPort Extreme, from WINDOWS?

    I have an Airport Extreme as my router, and I have a Windows-based computer. I need to open ports on the router (ironically, it is for my Apple TV).
    However, even though I can use the Airport Utility for Windows (latest version 5.5.3), I cannot open ports from the application.
    Everywhere I look, I am supposed to have a firewall tab in the Advanced section, but I do not have it. The only tabs that I have in Advanced are:

    How can I open ports on my Airport Extreme router from Windows?

    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your network configuration?

  • How do I open ports on my airport extreme and assign a fixed IP Address for a device connected to my network?

    I recently had a security system installed in my house.  One of the features is an EPAD which enables me to have a virtual keypad on my iphone, and computer to operate the alarm system.  The technician was not familiar with Mac's and Airports.  How do I open port 80 to 80 in my airport and assign a fixed IP address for the EPAD?  Apparently this is what is needed to make this work.

    There are three ranges of "strictly local" IP addresses reserved for local Network use:
    192.168.xxx.yyy
    172.16.xxx.yyy
    10.xxx.yyy.zzz
    What your Router does for you is to act as your agent on the Internet.Your requests are packaged up and forwarded on your behalf, and only when a response is expected is the response returned to your local IP address.
    Directing Network Traffic to a Specific Computer on Your
    Network (Port Mapping)
    AirPort Extreme uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to share a single IP address with the computers that join the AirPort Extreme network. To provide Internet access to several computers with one IP address, NAT assigns private IP addresses to each computer on the AirPort Extreme network, and then matches these addresses with port numbers. The wireless device creates a port-to-private IP address table entry when a computer on your AirPort (private) network sends a request for information to the Internet.
    If you’re using a web, AppleShare, or FTP server on your AirPort Extreme network, other computers initiate communication with your server. Because the Apple wireless device has no table entries for these requests, it has no way of directing the information to the appropriate computer on your AirPort network.
    To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, you need to establish a permanent IP address for your server and provide inbound port mapping information to your Apple wireless device.
    To set up inbound port mapping:
    1) Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
    2) Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
    3) Click the Add button and choose a service, such as Personal File Sharing, from the Service pop-up menu.

  • How do I unblock a contact in the desktop version ...

    I'm trying to get Skype working on my desktop (Windows 8.1 Pro). I am NOT a Skype user, I've downloaded the Skype desktop version onto my laptop (also a Windows 8.1 Pro machine), and have my daughter trying it from her account. However, I've discovered that somehow, in some way and some point in time, I've blocked her. I've no idea how that happened, when that happened, nor why that happened; but it is that way. So then I tried searching for help on these and other forums. The instructions all say to go into Tools | Options | Privacy | Blocked Contacts. OK, I've done that, and I actually see my daughter's account there, clearly in the Blocked People list box. But then the instructions clearly say that you're to select someone in the list box and then click on the "Unblock this person" button.
    That is a lie. 100% false. Never going to happen. The universe will come to an end before this works.
    The reason for that is because when I select my daughter's profile in the list box (or anyone else that I have in that list box) the "Unblock this person" button never, ever becomes enabled! And how am I supposed to re-enable anyone if that button just sits there useless?
    I did, however find one other uncomplete possibility. From within Skype I selected my daugther's profile, and it informs me that she's blocked. And then it says, "If you want to chat, unblock them fr...", and that's it, folks, as Elmer Fudd would say. No more instructions, no more help, nothing. If clicked on the link and that took me to people.live.com; but what am I supposed to do once I get there? Instructions that say only "unblock them fr" is not at all helpful!
    So, I've got only 2 answers that I've been able to find, one by search which is either a lie or is now disabled (for some reason), and another which is an incomplete instruction set. And people wonder why more people don't use Skype? Well, if tasks were accurate and complete, maybe more people would!
    So I'm asking you all, how do you unblock a contact that is blocked? What are the correct instructions that actually work?
